Diary Entry - 08/30/1988

Key Facts
President and Mrs. Reagan horseback ride around their home in Santa Barbara, CA, Rancho del Cielo.
President Reagan prunes bushes at his home in Santa Barbara, CA.
Looks at the start as if this may be the hottest day. Early call from George Scharffenberger about the easement we’ve given for use of a patch of ground on the ranch now up for sale. There is a question of whether it’s 1 or 3 acres. I’ve said include it in the sale—pay us & it is an easement forever. An engineer is going to figure out what the size is.
A nice ride—Nancy too. Lunch & then with Barney & Dennis back to pruning. Quit about 4 P.M. & I faced some paperwork. Not too much & no really great decisions. Well anyway—clean up, dinner & a little T.V. Heard Dukakis on T.V. claiming that Bush was part of a program of selling weapons to Iran. I’ve got to find the right occasion & tell the truth about Iran-Contra. Then to bed.
